| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length cult statue of Venus-Aphrodite of Acrocorinthus standing facing, head turned to the left, holding the shield of Mars-Ares upright before her and using its polished surface as a mirror. The figure is rendered in a rigid, archaic hieratic style befitting a cult image, recalling the famous sanctuary statue venerated on the Acrocorinth. The colonial legend C L I COR is disposed in the field around the figure. The reverse field is worn and the flan shows characteristic casting irregularities. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's colonial mint was unusual among Greek city mints under the Principate — it operated under direct Roman colonial administration rather than civic authority, which gave it a quasi-official character distinct from the autonomous issues of nearby Achean cities. Production under Marcus Aurelius at Corinth aligns with a period of renewed provincial activity following the Antonine reorganization of Greek civic coinages in the 160s.
The reference IV.1#5141 places this within the Roman Provincial Coinage corpus. Corinth's bronze output under Marcus Aurelius is relatively well-documented but not abundant in high-quality survivors, owing to active circulation in a heavily trafficked port city.
